Police in Arizona have located remains they believe belong to Cathryn Gorospe, the sister of a Palm Springs firefighter who went missing a week ago.

Flagstaff police made the announcement Friday evening, according to The Arizona Republic.

A positive identification and autopsy to determine the cause of death is pending. Police are also withholding the location of where the body was found until investigators at the scene finish their work, according to reports.

Gorospe, 44, the sister of Cory Gorospe, a Palm Springs Fire Department firefighter, went missing last Friday after she bailed Charlie Malzahn, 27, at 10:12 p.m. out of the Coconino County jail in Flagstaff.

The Palm Springs Fire Department posted online that off duty members were in Arizona helping with the search efforts.
